General Meade's Fighting Days (1911)
Virginia Wilson, just before the opening days of "61" was sought after by William Hastings and Frederick Foster, both southern gentlemen. The storm of war broke out. Sumter had been fired upon. It was then that Virginia discovered into whose keeping she would give her hand. While her whole soul was with her native south, she gave her love to Frederick Foster, whose sympathies were with the Union. William Hastings, the rejected suitor, threw his lot with the Confederate Bars. Each day the tide of battle ebbed and flowed; now the Blues on the crest of the wave, and again the Gray. And, one day a party of Federal soldiers, sorely pressed, sought refuge in a house on the hill. The house was the home of Frederick Foster and his wife, Virginia. In a moment the Johnny Rebs surrounded the premises and carnage reigned supreme. However, superiority of numbers won out, and the barricades gave way before the fierce onslaught of the Grays. Young Foster was captured and taken away. 'Mid the hail of steel and bullets, for the battle of Frazier's Farm was raging in all its fury, somewhere in the midst of that torrent of iron and lead, the brave Gen. Meade was directing his gallant Pennsylvania boys. Braving death from exposure to the shrieking messengers of death flying over the field of battle, Virginia reached the General's tent, and as she desperately pleaded, she mentally reminded him of his own mother, awaiting his probably return home, and his big, stern heart yielded to her womanly appeal. A detachment of Blues was quickly assigned to the task of rescuing the civilian Unionist and arriving on the scene, they rapidly dispersed the Grays. Clasped in a deep embrace, the reunited pair vow to ever cherish the name of that stalwart leader, Gen. Meade.
